. . . a spoke a week . . .
By NOELLE KENNEDY
Now that the volcanic dust of Registration Week has
settled into the tidal mud, (like Saturday night) of rampant
studying, we will attempt to resume our "weekly" decipher
ing of the Campus news.
ANN MacAFEE, Z'I'A, and JUNE PRESNELL were
guests at a reception given Generals Pepper and Horner at
the Parris Island Recruit Depot, Parris Island, over the
holidays.
The KD's had a house party between semesters. Attend
ing were girls, dates, and chaperons, averaging 76 people.
They invaded four houses.
DAVID JOHNSON, RICHARD MONCKTON, SAE's,
visited Charleston, Pawley's Island, and other points on the
east coast (luring the holidays. RAYMOND McELVEEN
descended upon Charleston, and so did DICK RUSH.
The KD's had a drop-in on Sunday night from 8 to 9.
About 300 people attended, including faculty members.
Of note during recent weeks are the new, "original"
hair-dos, sported by any Co-ed with hair. Most significant
is that one of "No Name," by CYNTHIA CLOYD.
"LEO," the cat, SAE mascot, has returned after a week's
spree. He spent the holidays in Greenville. I hear they're
offering a new course in "Catology" over in Le Conte, in
case you're interested, Leo.
JOHNNY JOHNSTON and MORGAN MITCHELL,
SAE's, not of the feline phylum, spent a few days in Atlanta
between semesters.
IETTY RUTH HAYES and VIRGINIA ROGERS were
pinned by Pi Kappa Phi's, BURT BENNETT and CHUCK
SPANN, respectively.
SAE's on the KD house party, helping to raise the nui
ber of attendants to 76, were PHILLIP PINCKNEY, T-BOY
ELLIS, and ELLIOTT WARDLAW.
Pi Kappa Phi KEITII KINDRED gave SUE FUNDER
BURK a diaiond, while CHARLIE I)RISCOIL married
IIEI.EN HA RVIN. DZ, last week.
ROSE REYNOLDS ascended to Norfolk last week, and
then she descendedl to Johnston.
RONNIE STREEM, IZZY LOURIE, PHIL GAR
FINKEL, BILL NOVIT (gotta get his name in here), I. M.
GOLDBERG, and DON MILLER journeyed down to Atlanta
to a Phi Ep party given by the Georgia Tech Chapter.
The KD's have a new pledge, ANN McCiRAW.

Why doesn't somebody send in some more Hlierloglyphics
to be translated into this obeliskick Column? If this lack of
information continues much longer (shorter), The Wagon
Wheel will disintegrate in its own sawdust. So, if it is to
continue to turn, PLEEEEEZE send some bits of prose to
Box 79 in time for the next issue. Let not the Campus live
in ignorance.

Campus Gossip
While Working
Have you ever wondered who the
girl is who calls your (late for you
when you come to Sims? The an
swer is not here, but here are some
facts about these girls who act as
date-caller.
They work from 6:30 to 9:3(
each night. On nights when there
are basketball games or something
else attracting the same amouni
of dating, they may call betweer
50 and 60 girls in ten minutes
Sound impossible ? It is done.
In addition to answering the
front door summons, they answei
the telephone in Sims office. They
call girls over the public address
system when there is a long dis.
tance call; they make announce.
ments for girls about meetings
books for sale, and whatever re
quests are made.
have you ever forgotten to sign
out? Call the office and one of
these girls will sign you out. Re
striction is long but it is no fun
either.
Once on the job, they are there
for the three hours with no substir
tuting. It is not always the worl<
that is hard; it is usually the
monotony of it. Light is poor; toc
poor for studying.
But pity not these girls because
they have their lighter moments.
Calling the wrong (late can prove
embarrassing. Girls with two
dates in one night is a sad sight
indeed, but it is amusing. They
always know the latest gossip of
who pinned whom and do not need
to read the Wagon Wheel to find
out who had parties the past week.
This job helps to develop a good
memory for names. Where else
could you be expected to remember
three or four different names for
:30 seconds and then receive three
new names of girls to be called ?
Then there is the girl who comes
down for her (late half an hour late
and wants to know "where is my
date sitting?" "My date" isn't
much of a description but the
"door-keeper" will obligingly go
to check the males waiting ner
vously in the lobby.
Then there is the stranger who
wants to know if she has been
buzzed yet. She may or may not
have been, but who knows?

Of Housekeeping
Into the' upkeep of Sims dormi
tory fof women goes many hours
of time. Sims has niine full-time
maids to clean rooms and one jani
tor to clean the canteen and
porches.
Here are housed approximately
250 girls, all studying at the uni
versity. Also located in Sims are
the seven sorority rooms, serving
about 200 girls.
Coeds are required to keep their
rooms neat; meaning that the beds
must be made daily and clothes
kept out of sight. The clothes are
preferably hung in closets and
other stuff crammed neatly in
drawers.
The maids sweep the rooms,
halls, stairways and studies.
Additionally, Mrs. Hattie Pen
der, housemother, k e e p s all
j mechanisms working by reporting
disorders to Mr. Stradley's office.
Inside information about Sims
little known by males, is the Sims
Canteen which often does $100
business a day, selling about eight
crates of cold drinks each day. The
canteen offers coeds a meal be
tween meals. These snacks may
consist of donuts, cookies, candy
bars, chewing gum or candy. Other
vital necessities of life, such as
bubble gum, is sold here. A boom
ing business in cigarettes is always
done during exam week. A laun
dry and dry cleaning service is
there.
Connected with the canteen is
the Sims washette where clothes
are automatically washed in Ben
dix machines.
The canteen is run by girls
working there in their spare hours
and is usually open from eight un
til 12 and two until six. At night,
the door is opened at seven and
closes at 10.

Panhellenic Forms
New Rtsh Rules
For Sororities
Informal rushing will be estab
lished at the university by the Pan
hellenic council, according ' to
Norma Bergman, president.
The new ruling -passed at the
last meeting will allow sororities
with less than thirty members at
the conclusion of formal rushing
to rush informally for thirty days
immediately following rush week
any coed enrolled at the university
as long. as the coed has a 5.000
average.
A sorority rushing in this fashion
will be allowed to pledge as many
girls as they can, up to the 45
limit on membership.
Plans for an early rush week are
currently being made by the coun
cil. Coeds seeking information
about rushing should contact a
member of the council.
Stunt Night for the coeds will
be held and sponsored by Pan
hellenic in the spring. A cup will
be given to the sorority with the
best skit.
Continuing the project of danc
ing with the soldiers in the Ft.
Jackson hospital, members of the
sororities will attend a Valentine
dance, Feb. 13. Any independent
wishing to attend should contact
Norma Bergman for details.
